Description
Make easy and romantic chocolate-dipped strawberries for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for shine)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry your strawberries. Ensure they are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere.
- Melt the chocolate chips. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or over a double boiler. If using coconut oil, stir it in after the chocolate is mostly melted.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the way up.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let the chocolate set. You can do this at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes until firm.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use good quality chocolate.
- You can also use white chocolate or milk chocolate.
- Decorate with sprinkles or a drizzle of contrasting chocolate before the coating sets.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
